Hi there!
For your first question, I have not updated AD Nida Top yet, as I have not been playing as much league recently, let alone top lane. However I would recommend going conquerer, and then keeping the other runes if you wish to play it, and then go for Triforce and then tank items for AD Nida Top.
For your second question, since you are learning nida, I'd stick to a buff to buff route, such as red to blue to gromp and wolves, but there really is no specific best clear for nida. Nidalee has one of the strongest clears in the game, and can generally go any route depending on what you need.
For your 3rd question, I would say AP Nida top is better than AD atm, and I feel my build and runes are pretty good. However I do recommend not picking nida into difficult matchups, such as Renekton or Jayce.
For your last question, I don't know if this is exactly what you are asking, but if you are wondering if I changed it recently, then yes, yes I did. I also made it the main on the guide, since I feel with the jungle meta shifting a bit, protobelt nida is less effective than what it was before.

ok cool thanks for awnsering my question and so fast to,

i will try ur tipps :D

have a nice day dude

luve u <3

Why inspiration secondary???

(2) |

Also having 45% CDR on Nida is really nice.

(2) |

Generally Inspiration is the most versatile secondary rune for the jungle. It saves gold so that you can prioritize early powerspike items. It isn't required by any means, but it is generally the strongest choice for most junglers.

Breh, you can only get a DH stack through champs. Should I go for Electrocute instead?

(2) |

Yes, sorry about that. I still haven't published the updates for preseason. I've been swamped with work. I'll try and have it out later today!

Hey, hey hey!
I wonder what runes setup you prefer to your Nidalee mid guide?
I can't seem to see any :/

(2) |

Hi there! To answer your question, I generally use Domination primary with electrocute, sudden impact, eyeball collection, and ravenous hunter.
For your secondary, I would go time warp tonic and biscuits. Since the sustain is great in the mid lane. If you go inspiration secondary, start corrupting pot.

I'll try that :)

That is one of my favorite skins! Thanks for taking the time to check out the guide. Good luck, and happy climbing!

Gonna use my challenger nidalee shard now

When you have the slow start and go Iceborn do you get it after jungle item or after Morello?

(2) |

Hi there! I generally tend to go iceborn if I'm super far behind. However, if you are having a slightly slow start, you can go something like morello or another AP-Health equivalent.

(1) |

Ah, so if I do end up far enough behind to build enough to build ice born do u build it right after JG item?

Nice guide @ The Top Bear. I had a couple of mechanical questions about clearing with that I hope you can help me with as a lot of guides seems to gloss over ability order when clearing the jungle.

So it looks like you generally start with Q, , unless you want to start Raptors in which case you can start W, .

Leaving aside starting W.

So for starting Red Buff with a leash from your laners I believe you would do something like

Q > AA > AA > R > Q > AA > AA > R > kite away and basically rinse and repeat?

Then it seems like you do something like

Q > W > AA > AA > R > W > AA > Q (to cancel the AA animation and get your damage out faster)

Then you would do something

Q > W > AA > AA > R > W > AA > E > Q (a little fuzzy on which to use since they both do some varitey of % missing health dmg).

I can already tell it is going to take a lot of games to get the most out of her, but I like the thought of having another jungler that can get into and out of the enemy jungle relatively quickly as I seem to have the most success with jungling when I can opt to counter jungle and gank from behind enemy lines.

(2) |

Generally that's the correct way to do it, but being able to improvise is important as well. You can also save a q or w at the end of one camp to go ahead and start the next camp. Oh, and sometimes it's better to start top lane regardless of the buff so that you can gank bot early. Hope this helps! If you have anymore questions feel free to ask! Happy Climbing!

Ah, I've seen a couple of games where people will Q Gromp after getting Blue down to about half health. Will have to work that into my practice.

Do you choose to gank Bot early based on match-up or simply if your Bot lane has a decent amount of CC to help your with your gank?

I gank bot early if the enemy lane is going to push in fast and if they don't have the tools to stop me. (Like Alistar push)

Whatever happened to in this game? I haven't seen her in a game for at least 3 months. I don't think it's because she's weak or something, maybe just not that meta at the moment. Almost makes me want to pick her up for that reason. I never played her jungle but I'll try it again and probably use your guide for that, it seems very well made.

(2) |

There are a couple of likely reasons for this. The first being your region. In NA, nidalee isn't as popular of a champ as in Korea. She is also played a lot more in plat or higher since she has a high skillcap and is team comp reliant. Lastly you might just have gotten unlucky. Also, thanks for the kind words! Don't forget though, nidalee doesn't have to be a jungler. I find myself playing a lot of nida top and mid and enjoy it a ton! Happy climbing!

Actually, I'm on EUNE, you know the "clown fiesta" server. XD
But yeah, even though I rarely play ranked, I was surprised by her scarcity in the game. Some years ago, I'd see her more often, considerably more. I know she's perfectly viable in other lanes but jungle is my main role so if she's good for it, I want to give her a shot, I'm trying to achieve a minimum skill in almost every jungler if possible. Thanks for the feeback, and all your work, sir.
